Nashville, TN — Adam Borics returned to the win column at PFL Nashville on Thursday, while advancing, sort of, in the promotion’s World Tournament.
Borics (20-3) defeated Jeremy Kennedy via unanimous decision, in a tournament alternate bout. Borics will only fight if needed come the final, of course, but regardless, it’s a step back in the right direction.
“I’m happy to be back. It wasn’t the fight I wanted, but it’s hard to fight against somebody who doesn’t want to fight, just wants to grapple and hold you down,” Hungary’s Borics said following the bout, speaking with Cageside Press and other media outlets. “But I’m happy, I’m back on a win streak, and yeah.”
As the scores were being read, Borics didn’t have much cause for concern.
“I was pretty confident because in the first round I tried to finish him, I knocked him down and I tried to submit him. I was pretty close,” noted Borics, who could hear how close Kennedy was to going out. “Little bit I burned out my arms, and when he took my back I was like ‘okay I’ll give the second round, I don’t want to risk it, and I got to win the third round.’ So I was pretty sure it was 1-1, and it was.”
Should his services not be required at the end of the single-elimination PFL World Tournament, Adam Borics would prefer to fight later in the year. And he teased a move to lightweight as well.
“If they call me for the final, maybe but I would rest a little bit, because making weight two times in three, four months is pretty hard for me. I’m a pretty big 145’er, maybe in future I’ll move to 155. So if I get a choice, I would just fight end of the year.”
